QSD Militia imposes tributes on locals in Hasakeh
September 22, 2022
Hasakeh, SANA- US-backed QSD militia went far beyond and tightened the noose against the Syrian citizens in Qamishli by imposing tributes on merchants and owners of workshops.
In an attempt to secure wages for the armed groups working under its control, Qasad militia in cooperation with US occupation forces loots Syrian resources in Aljazeera region, particularly wheat and oil.
And to make the situation worse, Qasad imposes tributes and taxes on the locals.
Those practices stirred wide disapproval among merchants and owners of professions, considering them as unbearable violations.

Ambassador Aala: Human Rights’ council reports are still governed by double- standards policy
September 22, 2022
Geneva, SANA-Syria’s permanent representive to the UN in Geneva, Hussam Edin AALA, said that reports and resolutions of Human Rights council that target some states are still governed by double standards policy and western intervention agendas in a way that contradicts UN principles and purposes, standards of objectivity and non-selectivity.
“Syria recalls its rejection of the inconsistent decision that established the inquiry committee concerned in the situation in the country and the following irrelevant decisions to extend its authority, as Syria also rejects this committee’s reports that target Syria for political purposes,” Aala said in a statement at the 51st session of Human Rights council, the 4th item on the situation in Syria.
He added that the reports’ adoption of fabricated stories, circulated by social media, edited by countries hostile to Syria, and presented them as facts, represent one of the most prominent examples about the lack of professionalism and credibility of the work methods of the Committee.
Aala said that despite the terror challenges, aggression and US, Israeli and Turkish occupation of parts of Syrian territories, and acts of plundering the Syrian resources and the unilateral measures that harm the livelihood of the Syrian people, Syria continues its cooperation with UN agencies and friendly countries to boost the humanitarian response to its citizens, fulfill activities of early recovery and rehabilitate infrastructure.

SCO leaders hit out at unilateral sanctions for aggravating global food crisis
September 16, 2022
Samarkand, SANA- The unilateral sanctions being imposed by some countries complicate the global food situation, the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) said in a statement on Friday.
“We believe that the world is currently facing major threats in food security. Climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, regional problems and other factors have hit global food supply chains,” reads the document published on the Kremlin website following a SCO summit in Samarkand.
According to the document, “unilateral restrictions have aggravated the global food crisis.”
The SCO leaders highlighted the contribution their organization had been making to the mechanisms of cooperation in agriculture and food security. The SCO heads of state called on the international community to make concerted efforts with the United Nations playing the central role and to contribute to the work of the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the UN World Food Program.
“We view as inadmissible the imposition of unilateral restrictions that runs counter to international law, including extraterritorial measures that may destabilize global food markets and pose a threat to the long-term socio-economic stability, primarily in developing and least developed countries, as well as the use of grain for biofuels and other factors making global food prices volatile,” the statement reads.
